Yes, the Fegelein collection.

Apperently you can still smell the liquor on the tunic. Jacques

Are there any short curly red hairs on it still?

SOLD!! 24,000e

[N.C. Wyeth]

Why worry?

SOLD!! 24,000e

Contrary to logic . . . in ten years, I think ANYTHING such as this may become valuable!

[TMurray]

24,000 euro for a tunic to Hermann Fegelein?!! tells us alot, what it says is that the collector community didnt believe it, if it was real it would have sold for at least 50,000 euro!!! Case closed, was a messed with tunic!

[Max Wünsche]

Well someone now has a 24,000 Euro fantasy as their collection centrepiece!

Idiot...

[markus]

The good thing for the sellers about the auctions is that there are basically no refunds! It's a one-way street. "Bought as seen".

It took a friend of mine about 2 months and a lot of pressure and arguments to get only a EUR 5,500.00 refunded for 3 fake "Mollo" insignias from the past Hermann Historica auction. How do you think the auction house will react when you want to return a EUR 25k tunic?!

Fake vs. Real

Some People prefer to live in their own version of reality.

They don't read the WAF or even study the material.

What I find amazing is some of these Nitwits have money. How can they have enough money to buy the stuff yet be so stupid? Usually the acquisition of Cash involves business transactions that require skepticism and some sense, but then in the Hobby they act like idiots. Of course the money they have could be from a family business that was started by someone sharp or they simply inherited their money.

Anyway they miss the fun of the Hobby which is studying the material, doing the research and making friends and mentors along the way.

[Thorsten B.]

Yeah, they think they´re active but remain passive:

They pay and get f***ed.

High end stuff - the uncommon red-light district. :-)

[Max Wünsche]

Couldnt agree more.
